I noticed in your 2.3.4 that the Fetch UserID is still not working, I updated all the files, uploaded the new plug with overwrite and here is what I still get,

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>404 Not Found</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1>Not Found</H1>The requested document was not found on this server.<P><HR><ADDRESS>Web Server at warriornation.net</ADDRESS></BODY></HTML><!-- - Unfortunately, Microsoft has added a clever new - "feature" to Internet Explorer. If the text of - an error's message is "too small", specifically - less than 512 bytes, Internet Explorer returns - its own error message. You can turn that off, - but it's pretty tricky to find switch called - "smart error messages". That means, of course, - that short error messages are censored by default. - IIS always returns error messages that are long - enough to make Internet Explorer happy. The - workaround is pretty simple: pad the error - message with a big comment like this to push it - over the five hundred and twelve bytes minimum. - Of course, that's exactly what you're reading - right now. -->

EDIT,

When I try to join tournament, I get to where it askes if I am sure and I get an error,

Fatal tournament error! Please contact forum adminstrator

So in a nutshell, I cant join or add users.


When I try to create a team I get this error,

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO tmnt_members

It's looking damn good.



I have one suggestion though: The ability to replace a player once tournament has started.

I'm running a 32 player tourney now and there is at least one player who can't play... And I'd like to replace him with another player. But I have no experience of phpmyadmin stuff and I don't want to go there... :erm:

<font face="Georgia">Looking good so far. However, I suggest that the creator of a tournament should make users proceed to the next battle. Instead of having enabling it for everyone.</font>

Same here


WNxWakko, your IP is line 4 also. VALUES ('2', '1', 1222021904, 'xxx.xx.xx.xxx', '1', '1', '1' );

You can remove him from it. By the clicking little guy next to his name.

It would be awesome if the admin could move players to the bracket they wanted them in. We're trying to run a tournament on my site and the lack of ability to set up the matches as we want them (user X vs user Y) is stopping us from using this system to do it. Otherwise it's fantastic but this is a huge piece of the puzzle that is missing.

[bananalive]

I've fixed above errors (including fetch userid) and added vbulletin option to turn off auto-insert navbar/quicklinks.

Attached is next beta version, it should all be working but if you get error please reply here.

Is there a way for all comments in a tournament to be added to the tournament thread as a post, and vice-versa?

[valendono]

I have problem with tournament.php on adding tournament

Warning: cal_days_in_month() [function.cal-days-in-month]: invalid date. in [path]/tournament.php on line 533

Error: Invalid Date

$days = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN,$month,$year);

I try to echo $month and $year.. result 0..

I installed calendar module php but still same problem
